Gran Turismo 5 release confirmed for November 24

This isn’t a dream, but i can’t believe I’m writing this: Gran Turismo 5 is coming out this month, hitting shelves on November 24 in North America.

In a press release sent out today, Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi says the title posed “challenges and complexities,” turning it into their version of the Apollo Space Program.

“With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans,” he says. “Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly.”

Now go and find that dirty pre-order receipt that fell between your couch cushions… it’s almost racing time!
